Yep, and spec-chum pics/selfies will get bonus points

Who knows what I'll receive, apart from a Cantonese take-away?

Haha please do! What's the worst thing that can happen?

Well, the next video for Reheated Pixels (see signature) is about Double Dragon. This could be an ideal opportunity to travel tens of miles just to film something that'll be on screen for about five seconds for a quick laugh. Just like the previous video, really. I think this is a must!

Oh yes, it's the same town. About a block or two away from Double Dragon! The building is now just miscellaneous shops and small banks. Mind you, it had always pretty much been that way back in the day. I *think* Blaby Computer Games sprung out of a television rentals place there.

Works for me. Just like Silverstone, I get the laugh without having to do the ground work. Even better if you can convince the (presumably soon to be bewildered) owner to give a thumbs-up that the Speccy version "could do better"

That's totally in context!

Next thing you're going to claim the earth isn't flat

Not really a spectrum game but Sinclair related nonetheless

'Nabulus'? Close, but no prize for you!

Also, 'Bir Zeit' - isn't that German?

I can see a 'Baal' something too, but that was on the Amiga...

Samantha Fox [Gaza] Strip Poker?

'Gazza's Strip' - Ain't nobody got time for that!

Just don’t mention the war!

Didn't expect that map could provide so many games!

I'm not in any hurry to try the food in the Judean Highlands though...

Love that Marsport one, it doesn't matter which letters are highlighted, the game is impossible not to see...
